Program Mode

The PC4 always powers up in Program Mode, where single instrument sounds can be played
directly from the keyboard, or multitimbrally via MIDI.
Saving Programs
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers (Knobs, Wheels
or Buttons), the SAVE button turns on to indicate that a change has been made to that
Program.
To save a copy of the Program with the changes you've made, press the SAVE button once to
view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number and name for the
Program you are saving. On the Program Save Page, press the SAVE button again to save the
Program as a User Program.

Program Edit Mode

Program Edit Mode allows you to select parameters for the assignable knobs, sliders and
buttons, adjust the current Program's Arpeggiator settings, and adjust many other Program
parameters.

Multi Mode

Multi Mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 16 Programs split
and/or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard.
By default the volume of the Program in the first 4 Zones can be easily adjusted while
playing by using the sliders 1-4, and each Zone can be turned on or off by using the
buttons below these sliders. The remaining controls are typically assigned to FX and Synth
parameters. Controller settings can be adjusted in Multi Edit Mode.
Multi Edit Mode
Multi Edit Mode is used to modify the many parameters that make up Multis, including
Program Selection, Key Range, Volume, Pan, and Controller assignments. Use Multi Edit
Mode to create custom sound combinations.
To save a copy of the Multi with the changes you've made, press the SAVE button once to
view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number and name for the
Multi you are saving. On the Multi Save Page, press the SAVE button again to save the Multi
as a User Multi.
